    bossy - your holiday choice looks lovely, is it just you and the little ones going or are grandparents going too?

    Actually we're going mob handed. Me and my mum. Three of my aunts, two of my cousins, my cousins mum-in-law and 9 assorted children ranging from age 16 down to age 2. It's a women and kids holiday lol the menfolk will be left in peace for a while.

    We managed to get all our purchases from wilco, 5 tester pots (dulux ones were half price :T) a wardrobe rail and fixings and DS chose one of those flexi buckets, in the laundry section but he's going to have it under his new bed for storage.

    Kitchen had been sorted, as has dinner, and we are having a snuggle afternoon, DS currently tangled himself up in my legs and DD is laying on a cushion. We have the fire on, and a smelly candle going. Almost perfect :A

    Remind me never to try copying and pasting a list using my phone. It doesn't work well!!

    I'll turn my laptop on in a bit & get to some flying.

    Chest of drawers sorted. 1 pile to save for Squeak and 1 pile to try one.. She needs new onesies and long sleeve tops.. :/

    I have had lunch and will go up with a binbag in a sec. 1 load of washing in WM and 1 in TD and a full basket brought downstairs..

    so I am going so incredibly slow that took me over an hour.. but I am getting through it I suppose.

    Ooh a quick WWYD...

    Squeak (2) Dot (1) .. belonging to ours
    Mimi (12) Moomin (10) Tiddles (8) .. mine

    I NEED to get Dot out of our room so do I...

    A) Put S and D in the room a fair way off mine between the loo and the bathroom given they sleep very very lightly and breathing wakes them up and leave the 3 girls in the big room next to mine.

    OR

    B) Put S and D in the big room with Tiddles and their toys.. next to my room so we can hear when they wake up and MnM in the little room? The 3 older ones sleep like the dead.

    It has already been decided DD2 is going in Squeaks room and when she moves out (she is nearly 16) Mimi is going in there so Tiddles will go in with Moomin.

    I don't know what to do for the best... but the shuffling is being done eater week when KH has the 3 girls for a week.
